Crypto Shakeup: PEPE Flips DOGE, ETH Outmuscles SOL, and Remittix Undercuts XRP in Payments Race

Crypto Shakeup: PEPE Flips DOGE, ETH Outmuscles SOL, and Remittix Undercuts XRP in Payments Race

Meme coin hierarchies are collapsing as PEPE’s 2025 rally leaves Dogecoin choking on its own inflationary supply. Meanwhile, Ethereum’s L2 dominance quietly strangles Solana’s ’ETH killer’ narrative—just as institutional money floods into staking.

But the real dagger? Remittix’s low-fee rails stealing cross-border volume from Ripple’s embattled XRP—proving once again that in crypto, ’first mover advantage’ just means ’first target for disruption.’

Wall Street analysts are already spinning this as ’healthy rotation.’ Translation: bagholders incoming.

Ethereum investors take profit after BTC drop

Crypto prices went through a slight price correction after Bitcoin dropped and flirted with $100K, a psychological price point for many investors. Ethereum investors reacted to this drop, taking profit from ETH’s recent rally above $2,500.

Nevertheless, experts see no big drops ahead for Ethereum. BRN’s lead research analyst Valentin Fournier, believes healthy inflows into BTC and ETH ETFs provide a solid foundation for Ethereum’s long-term support.

Data from Coinglass backs this claim. Ethereum’s funding rate remains unaffected by the BTC blip. The general belief is that ETH WOULD bounce back and possibly rally to $3,000.

Will Solana ever catch up with Ethereum?

Solana has made a lot of progress over the last few years. It is widely regarded as the fastest blockchain network and SOL has made leaps and bounds in terms of price appreciation and popularity among crypto enthusiasts. Nevertheless, solana remains several steps behind Ethereum as there’s a $200 billion gap between their market caps.

But then, Solana isn’t ready to throw in the towel. SOL is constantly innovating. Improving its offering in order to eclipse Ethereum and become the best platform for decentralized applications. Maybe Firedancer, Solana’s upcoming network upgrade, which promises more goodies for its users as well as a million TPS, could turn the tide in Solana’s favor.

Dogecoin price struggles to maintain new momentum

Dogecoin has seen its momentum become somewhat constrained in recent times. Doge had appreciated spectacularly in the last month, surging up by 46% to rekindle flames of the meme craze. But the meme king is now struggling to keep up with this momentum.

Trading data shows strong resistance at $0.245 levels, with DOGE now finding support around $0.22. Dogecoin remains a major player in the meme space, with a significant market cap and a dedicated community. But this hasn’t stopped other meme projects from trying to knock DOGE off its perch.

Is PEPE gunning for Dogecoin’s spot?

In contrast to Dogecoin’s tepid rally, Pepe is up by over 80% in the last month. With such a significant ascent it would seem that PEPE is challenging for DOGE’s spot. Nevertheless, the valuation between both tokens is wide.

Standing over $30 billion strong, Dogecoin’s market cap is 6x PEPE’s. However, this hasn’t stopped investors from going for PEPE over dogecoin in recent times. Increased daily trading volume to the tune of billions signifies increasing investor interest in PEPE. The expectation is that PEPE would fetch current holders a handsome return in the near future.

Ripple eyes $3 as crypto whales accumulate XRP

XRP has appreciated by 65% over the past month, rebounding from a low of $1.61 to as high as $2.65. This surge is believed to be driven by growing whale accumulation and a more optimistic global trade outlook, particularly due to easing tensions between the US and China.

According to crypto analyst MoNi_Mon, XRP has broken out of a multi-month falling wedge. This is a bullish signal, and the resulting breakout could push XRP towards $3.4. This represents as much as a 45% ROI from its current levels. While decent, this level of returns pales in comparison with what coins like Remittix can offer.

Remittix: The ultimate destination for maximum crypto profits

Remittix is another crypto payment solution like XRP. But unlike Ripple, Remittix appeals to both retail and institutional users. Its killer application is giving its users the ability to send crypto from their wallets as fiat to bank accounts all over the world.

This functionality is replicated in its Pay API, which merchants can use to receive streamlined crypto payments as fiat. This groundbreaking, real-world utility case has positioned Remittix for spurious growth, so it’s no surprise that it has quickly gained traction.

Launched in early 2025, Remittix has raised over $15 million from 30,000 investors, without involving venture capitalists. The coin is up by 400% already and it is clear that more gains are on the way for prospective investors.

Lock in Remittix

As Solana keeps trying to catch up with Ethereum and Dogecoin and PEPE battle things out, Remittix has demonstrated its capability to replicate Ripple’s past rallies. While other altcoins might appreciate handsomely and fetch decent profits, Remittix looks set to bring the roof down. Currently available for $0.0757, RTX could fetch as much as a 50x ROI by the time it lists on exchanges and hits the spotlight. This makes it a must-have for a vastly profitable crypto portfolio.
